pm_runtime_get_noresume() + pm_runtime_put() can be replaced by a single
pm_runtime_idle() call (where pm_runtime_put() was). pm_runtime_enable() is
required to enable runtime PM for a device.

pm_runtime_allow() may be omitted but then to make the runtime PM framework
to make the power state transitions this needs to be configured from the
user space --- which I don't think is intended.

Cc linux-pm, too.
